Are the proposed arrangements-----

What about Michael Lowry?

Excuse me, Deputy McDonald.

The question was asked.

My question also asked about the Minister for housing.

It is the Ceann Comhairle who puts the question to me, not Deputy McDonald.

If the question has not been answered, that is-----

I asked a legitimate question about the Order of Business-----

Are the proposed arrangements agreed to?

-----as did the Members who raised Standing Order 35(3). They are totally within their rights to do that. Those questions have not been answered. Four different questions were not answered.

The Deputy has the right to dissent in his vote, if he calls a vote.

I asked a question specifically about the Minister for housing.

The Deputy has the right to bring it up at the next meeting.

Is there not an obligation to respond?

Does the Chief Whip wish to respond?

The Minister for housing was in the House twice last week answering questions about housing. If anybody looks at the agenda, they can see that he has been in the House almost every week since the Dáil formed 16 weeks ago.

As he should be. There is a housing crisis.

Does the Chief Whip wish to respond to the other questions?

What about Michael Lowry, the Chief Whip's colleague?

The programme for Government is open and transparent.

Are the proposed arrangements agreed to?

They are not agreed.

We will move on to Questions on Policy or Legislation. We had 74 applicants out of which 15 have been chosen. I doubt very much we will get through the 15, which means some may be left out.
